Hillary on Massachusettsans: “They can redeem themselves on Tuesday – they can vote for a winner.”

Clinton’s Post-Game Show
By Patrick Healy

ABOARD THE CLINTON PRESS PLANE – Before taking off to New York late Sunday night, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton hailed the New York football Giants and made a few quips about Senator Barack Obama and the people of Massachusetts, who vote on Feb. 5.

Told that Mr. Obama was supporting the Patriots – the home team of his supporters Edward M. Kennedy, John Kerry, and Gov. Deval Patrick of Massachusetts, Mrs. Clinton grinned and said, “Hm, I wonder why.”

And reminded that she had two campaign stops in Massachusetts on Monday, she said: “They can redeem themselves on Tuesday – they can vote for a winner.”

Otherwise she took the Giants’ victory as tidings of things to come.

“Well, I think this is a real omen,” she said.

Asked how she was feeling, given that her voice has grown hoarse, she said, “I feel ok, my voice has gone AWOL on me.”

By the by, this was Mrs. Clinton’s first on-the-record drop-by in her campaign plane press cabin since reporters enforced new rules that all of her remarks to the entire press corps would be on the record.

1. Wow, that's pretty damn lame.

WTG, Hillary. :puke:

[BeyondGeography]

2. Not the best turn of a phrase there

[Azathoth]

3. Wow, the Hillary gaffe train in on a roll n/t

[geek tragedy]

4. I'm sure that'll go over about as well as having

Boston tv ads featuring Alex Rodriguez and Roger Clemens.

[papau]

11. The Hillary ads are Barney Franks endorsing of Hillary - is Barney "wrong"?

[UALRBSofL]

18. I think Barney Franks adds will helpher

:)

[Mass]

50. Where do they run? I have not seen them, only the Robert Jr Kennedy ads?\nt

[ErnestoG]

5. "Redeem" themselves? Oh my god. How arrogant can you get?

Hey Hillary, that's gonna win you a TON of votes, I'm sure!

*chuckle*

[AGirl]

10. oh my god HOW LAME CAN YOU BE?

If you are going to change your vote because of a joke about a sport game, than you *don't* deserve to vote.

[ErnestoG]

13. Not as lame as your GarnishGate candidate, that's for sure.

She has that language going in to the GE and she won't last a week.

[QC]

19. Very, very, very lame, as it turns out. n/t

[mrreowwr_kittty]

26. Two words: Handshake Snub

Speaking of lame....

[AGirl]

6. Funny lady! Yes She can!

[rodeodance]

39. ~YES SHE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES SHE CAN~~

[cali]

45. NO SHE CAN'T. NO YOU CAN'T, NO SHE CAN'T.

8. Hell, that's ARROGANT. It's time to give HRC a "reality check."

No, you are NOT royalty ... you do not deserve to have you and your husband RUN OUR COUNTRY via a THIRD Clintonian DLC staffed Executive Branch

Tell HRC and her DLC cronies "NO. YOU. CAN'T." this Super Tuesday. :thumbsdown:

[Drunken Irishman]

9. That is NOT going to go over well there.

[Colobo]

12. Two stupid remarks in one day. Is she losing it?

[ZinZen]

31. I bet the internals are showing

an unlikely coronation this Tuesday.

[angie_love]

14. Bostonians are hardcore fans here, they will not appreciate her apparent gloating

Trust on this.

[Mass]

15. She should avoid stupid jokes. And, the omen can be that the underdog will win.

[K Gardner]

16. Seriously tho, can you - can ANY of us - imagine how freaking TIRED she must be? Even

a triathlete couldn't keep her schedule/hours without collapsing. I know after about three 12-hour shifts, I lock myself in my house, pull the covers over my head and refuse to budge for a day. When was her last day off? How many times a day does she have to speak, talk, get in front of cameras, be poised and articulate and worry about every word she says? Its truly hard for me to imagine, so I'd hope we might give her a bit of a break.. and Obama too for that matter.. when either of them "gaffe" on site !

Hats off to both of them for doing what would be to most of us, undoable !

[AGirl]

20. The Kumbaya supporters have no compassion. LOL

[Egnever]

23. Do you post anything but snarky replies?

[Alexander]

34. Nope. Typical from Shillbots.

They offer nothing of substance. The same thing they criticize Obama for.

Hmm.....

[Egnever]

22. I am with you there

I dont know how they do it. The stress alone would probably kill me in a week.

[xmas74]

25. Same here.

I work four twelve-fourteen hour shifts a week. At the end of my week I'm truly exhausted, both body and mind. All I want is a hot bath, chamomile tea and a dark, noiseless room to sleep in.

No way I could handle doing what any of the candidates have done.

[Thrill]

17. LOL. That is not going to go over well

[Perky]

21. ouch that oneis gonna leave a mark

[Jed Dilligan]

24. Tactful.

[joshcryer]

27. The Giants did win after all... :)

[Perky]

47. That was before the Super Bowl

[CTLawGuy]

28. This Pats fan says

Hillary, you fucking disingenuous carpetbagger, we will blow you out of the water. I suppose you were always a Giants' fan too.

I hope Obama wins MA in a landslide.

[Cha]

32. That would be nice

darboy.. It's really nice to see you with an Obama avatar, too!

[CTLawGuy]

33. I am from CT actually

but I am in school in NY. So it will be an ugly day tomorrow. However, I have cast my absentee ballot for Obama and that fills me with pride!

[ZinZen]

29. Check out the comments section in that link

They are not loving Hillary.

[Cha]

40. Thanks..I did just that!

11:39 pm I’m really concerned about the fact that both Massachusetts and New York decided to host their victory parades the same day as SUPER TUESDAY. I would expect the attendance at the parade to consist of mainly 18-30’s, and that would take away a lot of potential voters from Obama. Because of this unfortunate circumstance, I was hoping that New England would win… they have fewer delegates. All we can hope is that those young people who are out celebrating the Giants victory on Tuesday, use the time off to stop by the voting precincts. PLEASE!!!!

11:44 pm If Hillary is like either team, it is the Patriots, who secretly taped their opponents practice to use their plays against them.

She didn’t even watch the game, as reported elsewhere on this blog. She just posed in front of the TV at the last minute to pretend she was a fan and to score political points.

Hillary is so obviously fake. It gets reported on ALL THE TIME. How can people see how fake she is and still support her?

11:47 pm You should know why. You also should know why you are losing Tuesday. Because of all the sleeze that you and your husband pulled over the last month. You too acted like it was owed to you. What a joke.

11:49 pm I live in NY and I love Giant that doesn’t mean I love Hillary and the rest of the New yorker love her.

11:50 pm “Otherwise she took the Giants’ victory as tidings of things to come.

“Well, I think this is a real omen,” Hillary said.

————————————–
Yeah, so do I !!!

Hillary was supposed to be the odd end favorite in the beginning of the Race. Then after her back-to-back wins in NH and Nev. but Obama hanged on until South Carolina.

And now we’re again supposed to believe that Hillary is going to win Super Tuesday - I am hoping for Obama to have a GIANT victory and beat this dishonest carpetbagging band-wagoner.

30. Hillary is losing it! Doesn't she now how beloved the Patriots are in Mass?

And in New England in general? I mean, those people up there are crushed! They see this more than just a 'game.' And she said this right before they go to the polls! I don't know about women, but I think many men will turn against Hillary for that. That was a very stupid thing to say to a state that just lost the Super Bowl and ruined their perfect season.

[Alexander]

35. Is she trying to lose the election? First garnishing wages, now this.

I thought she was "in to win". :eyes:

[rodeodance]

41. oh, get real--having some fun with foot ball scores is all

[David Zephyr]

36. Well, that was one of the most lame comments possible coming on the hurt felt after the loss today.

What arrogance.

[rodeodance]

37. great comment by Hillary.

And reminded that she had two campaign stops in Massachusetts on Monday, she said: “They can redeem themselves on Tuesday – they can vote for a winner.”

[CTLawGuy]

38. yes a great comment

for those who support Obama.

Those MA rallies could get ugly.

[rodeodance]

43. well, I think a little joking around about scores is fun--

[GoldieAZ49]

42. It is a real Omen: only one NY winner this week

[jefferson_dem]

44. Kick for "the omen"...

:evilgrin:

[americathabeautiful]

46. This only shows her arrogance. She expects everybody to beckon to her illogical will

[rox63]

48. Way to endear yourself to MA voters - NOT!

We are fierce sports fans here. Rubbing our faces in a defeat like this will not make you any friends in MA.

[Mass]

49. She's right. We can vote for Obama!!!! He is a winner!
